Hair testing is increasingly recognized for its efficacy in detecting substance and alcohol use. Hair captures a long-term history by embedding biomarkers in the growing fibers of the strand. Collected near the scalp, it can offer nearly a 3-month window for detecting alcohol and other substances. Hair samples are easy to collect, challenging to tamper with, and simple to transport.
A 1.5-inch sample consisting of approximately 200 hair strands (similar to the thickness of a #2 pencil) near the scalp will typically amount to 100mg—ideal for screening and confirmation. For EtG, supplemental tests, and analysis above 10 panels, a 150mg sample is suggested. It's advisable to measure the sample using a jeweler’s scale. If no scalp hair is present, an equivalent amount of body hair may be utilized. "Head hair" refers exclusively to scalp hair, while "body hair" refers to other types (facial, axillary, etc.).
Process Overview
The process of laboratory drug test result processing involves four principal steps: Accessioning, Screening, Extraction, and Confirmation.
Accessioning encompasses the initial step of processing a sample into the lab's system, ensuring proper sealing and shipment, allotting a random LAN (Laboratory Accessioning Number), and completing any extra data entry not available via an electronic chain of custody system.
Screening performs a prompt initial check for substance abuse. While cost-effective, a positive screen must be subsequently confirmed to be legally valid. Any presumptively positive samples in Screening demand a secondary confirmation.
If a sample indicates a presumptive positive at Screening, more hair is drawn from the initial sample and set for Extraction. Here, substances are extracted from hair at a significantly lower concentration than using other methods (like urine or oral fluid), which makes hair drug screening particularly complex.
For any positive screening outcomes, confirmation is done through GC/MS, GC/MS/MS, or LC/MS/MS. Before confirmation, all presumptive positives are washed as required. The comprehensive lab process from Accessioning to Confirmation is assessed under both the CAP (College of American Pathologists) Hair designation and ISO / IEC 17025 accreditation standards.

With its multidisciplinary nature, hair testing brings together researchers, scientists, and experts from various domains to develop innovative techniques, explore new methodologies, and address emerging concerns, responding to the ever-evolving challenges of drug abuse, therapeutic drug monitoring, and environmental exposures to pollutants.
The joint meeting of the Society of Hair Testing (SoHT) and the Italian Group of Forensic Toxicologists (GTFI) was organized in Verona, June 8–10, 2022, and hosted by the Legal Medicine team of the Verona University Hospital, directed by Franco Tagliaro together with Federica Bortolotti and Rossella Gottardo.
It served as a prominent platform for knowledge exchange and collaboration, facilitating groundbreaking advancements in hair testing and analysis. In this special issue of Drug Testing and Analysis, we aim to showcase the remarkable manuscripts presented at this significant event, shedding light on the latest research and highlighting the future directions in this field.
Novel Analytical Techniques: The Verona meeting witnessed the unveiling of cutting-edge analytical techniques, offering enhanced sensitivity, selectivity, and accuracy for drug testing. Remarkable advancements in sample preparation, detection, and identification of drug compounds have been presented. The manuscripts in this section presented novel approaches, such as multianalyte methods and on-line preparation which can enable rapid analysis and improve thorough forensic investigations.
Biomarkers and Pharmacokinetics: The identification and validation of reliable biomarkers and pharmacokinetic studies are fundamental aspects of drug testing and analysis. The impact of hair treatments on the oxidation/decomposition of drugs in hair was also explored, as the long-term fate of drugs incorporated in the keratin matrix. Furthermore, the SoHT meeting in Verona featured research on the identification and quantification of alcohol abuse biomarkers, their stability, and their correlation with exposure and other biomarkers.
Forensic Applications and Interpretation: One of the vital objectives of hair testing is its application in forensic investigations and legal proceedings. The SoHT meeting in Verona emphasized the significance of rigorous interpretation of analytical results and the need for standardized protocols. Manuscripts in this section present advancements in forensic toxicology, and have explored the challenges posed by emerging designer drugs and strategies to combat their proliferation. The pitfalls encountered when the exogenous/endogenous nature of a substance is questioned were presented and discussed. The special issue presents also manuscripts that delve into the ethical implications of drug testing in drug facilitated sexual assaults.
Clinical Applications of hair testing are witnessed by the insight on environmental tobacco smoke exposure, assessed by hair analysis in a population of students and the study of in utero-exposure to drugs of abuse through neonatal hair analysis. Exposure to drugs was also important in cases of child abuse/neglect, when the clinical purpose of hair testing merge with its forensic applications.
The legal framework surrounding hair testing and the achievement of guidelines to ensure fairness, accuracy, and confidentiality in drug testing practices have also been discussed,and the SoHT consensus on general hair testing and testing for drugs of abuse was presented at the meeting and published as a Letter to the Editor.
In conclusion, the special issue of Drug Testing and Analysis, featuring manuscripts from the SoHT–GTFI meeting in Verona 2022, reflects the remarkable advancements achieved in this field. The manuscripts provide valuable insights into novel analytical techniques, biomarkers, pharmacokinetics, forensic applications, and ethical considerations. As we embrace these advancements, we pave the way for a safer, healthier society, where drug testing and analysis serve as powerful tools in protecting public health and maintaining integrity in various sectors. The research presented in this special issue will undoubtedly shape the future of drug testing and analysis, fostering collaboration and inspiring further innovation in this crucial area of scientific inquiry.
